Mario Falcone treats Lucy to new motor

The Only Way Is Essex's Mario Falcone has treated girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh to a brand silver BMW

Mario Falcone has treated Lucy Mecklenburgh to a brand new car.

The 'Only Way Is Essex' hunk - who has been dating the 20-year-old beauty since early this summer - was spotted splashing out on a flashy silver BMW at his local dealership in Essex, where co-star Gemma Collins formerly worked, and then surprised Lucy with the expensive gift.

It appears Mario's attempts to please the brunette bombshell worked, as she rewarded him with a huge kiss on the lips.

This comes after the bespoke tailor recently faced up to Mark Wright - who Lucy dated briefly during the first series of the ITV2 reality show - after he heard he had been bitching about him.

However, the conversation ended when Mark said: "If I wanted Lucy I could have her."

Meanwhile, Lucy and Lauren Goodger - who dated Mark on and off for 10 years before breaking off their engagement in August - made their amends on Wednesday night's (05.10.11) show, when Lucy apologised for her romantic tryst with the hunk during a recent holiday to Marbella.

She said: "Basically I'm here just to say sorry, I really am. Over this last year everything that's happened with Mark and the decisions I've made have been disgusting and I really am sorry."

Lauren replied: "I understand and I appreciate that. It done me a favour because it made me see really what he's like and I'm glad you've moved on because I've moved on and I'm over it. I think he uses people to hurt people and I think he used you to hurt me."
